![]() One of the noisiest lines in a switch-mode power supply design is the drain pin of the driver, whether it is an AC to DC flyback design or it can be a buck, boost or buck-boost topology-based low power switching power supply design. The signal is routed in such a way that it is separated from other signals. In the below image, the highlighted signal is the high voltage DC line. This portion always needs to be separate from all other connections.įor example, the high voltage DC line that is directly going to the transformer (For flyback SMPS) or the DC line that directly goes to the power inductor (Buck or Boost topology-based switching regulators) should be separated. The switching line always gets turned ON and turned OFF in very high frequency and creates a very noisy supply line. The driver mainly consists of an internal MOSFET or sometimes the switching MOSFET is externally connected. Guidelines for Driver Circuitry and Control Circuit The highlighted sections in the above image are representing the close placement of the filter capacitors. ![]() It is essential to always use a short length of connection for connecting the Input section with the driver circuit. Therefore, the input filter capacitors need to be situated in an evenly spaced distance from the input connector and the driver circuit. The input and the filter section is where the noisy or unregulated supply lines get connected into the circuit. Guidelines for Input and Associated filters We will discuss each segment in detail in this article. In a PCB design, these all segments need to be separated in PCB and require special attention. Output Bridge and the associated filters.Driver circuitry and associated components for the driver especially control circuit.The power supply has four important portions. You can also check out the Design Techniques for EMI Reduction in SMPS Circuits.įirst thing first, for designing a switch-mode power supply, one needs to have a clear indication of the circuitry requirement and specifications. For example, a poor PCB design could lead to failure of the entire circuit as well as well-designed PCB could solve many unpleasant events.Īs a general rule of thumb, this tutorial will provide some detailed aspects of important PCB design layout guidelines that are essential for any kind of switch-mode power supply based PCB design. ![]() In such a high-frequency switching module, the PCB design tactics are far more essential and it is sometimes overlooked by the designer. The switching frequency of this ON and OFF state ranges from a few hundred kilohertz to megahertz range. We have already designed quite a few SMPS Power Supply circuits like the 12V 1A SMPS and the 5V 2A SMPS using the Power Integration and Viper controller IC respectively.Įvery Switching power supply uses a switch like a MOSFET or a power transistor that constantly gets turned ON or OFF depending on the switching driver specification. Improper or faulty Power supply unit could lead to a big failure of the product irrespective of how well-designed and functional the circuit may be. ![]() Whether it can be a complicated CNC Machine or a compact electronic device, as long as the device is connected to some sort of power supply an SMPS circuit is always mandatory. Switching power supply is a widely used power supply topology in power electronics. ![]()
